God, please help me not to be my parents

Recipe: Mango and Avocado Salad

What with all the comings and goings of the Smith household, the weekly recipes went by the wayside for awhile. Sorry about that. Please do not flog me.

It is that time of year again. The time of year in Houston when the heat melts your face as you walk outside. The kind of heat that makes you long for climes with actual seasons (Wisconsin, we love you!). You know, those climates with four seasons, changing leaves, green springtime, and snow. I have heard they exist.

I digress. Yes, the heat. In this sort of heat, salads and fresh salsas make the days bearable. This gem, served with lettuce, chips, or as the side to a grilled meat, is heaven.
